The dinner continued, but everyone looked different.
Wen Qingzhu took the opportunity to pick up the food and glanced at everyone.
Directly opposite Wen Guanbin and Mrs. Liu looked very happy.
Wen Bogui on the left is eating with his head down, while Wan looks a little absent-minded.
Wen Qingfang touched Wan's hand where no one else could see it.
Wen Jihua on the right seemed to be thinking about something, and Yang's face was gloomy, as if he was holding back his anger.
Wen Qingxin simply gritted his teeth and glanced sideways at the people around him.
Aunt Wu looked as usual, but Wen Qinglan couldn't stop smiling.
Wen Mingqian seemed to have known this for a long time and ate the food quietly.
As for Aunt Yue and her daughter, they never raised their heads and worked hard to reduce their presence.
The only exceptions are Wen Mingyu and Wen Mingliang, who never know much about these things in the inner house.
Maybe he just felt that his grandfather's promotion would only make the Wen family better.
There were two people Wen Qingzhu didn't see.
Wen Mingxuan on the left was eating quietly, she didn't need to look.
But she didn't dare to look at Wen Shuquan on the right.
The atmosphere of the dinner gradually became solemn.
After Wen Guanbin listened to Aunt Wu's words, he said as if talking to himself: "The Wu family is not bad either."
Others may not understand, but Wen Qingzhu knows it.
Mrs. Liu had previously mentioned in front of Wen Guanbin that she needed to straighten Aunt Wu.
If Wu Shan really helps Wen Guanbin get promoted, I'm afraid this matter will be put on the agenda.
Wen Shuquan might be able to refuse others, but Aunt Wu is an old person around him...
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath.
Aunt Wu must not be allowed to be straightened up.
After closing her eyes, she decided to remind her of the purpose of the Hundred Flowers Picture.
But before Wen Qingzhu could speak, someone had already spoken before her.
What she didn't expect was that the person who stood up to speak was Wen Qingfang.
"Grandpa, grandma, what happened to Fang'er just now made you worry."
Old Madam Liu frowned: "This matter has already passed, why do you still mention it?"
Wen Qingfang smiled and said: "My grandmother was in Huayuan just now. She apologized to my mother and me for my cousin's affairs, and gave her several gifts, including a purple jade unicorn. Fang'er just looked at it, and her grandmother liked it very much, so she ordered The maid went and got it."
"Dujuan, bring up the Qilin."
A green maid behind Wen Qingfang walked up with a small wooden box in her arms.
After opening the lid of the wooden box, a one-foot-tall purple jade unicorn suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
If Aunt Wu's purple jade surprised everyone, then Wen Qingfang's purple jade unicorn shocked everyone.
Purple jade is already very rare, and the Wan family actually gave Dafang a purple jade unicorn.
Wen Qingfang stood up, walked to Mrs. Liu, and asked Du Juan to hand over the purple jade unicorn.
"Grandma, the unicorn is auspicious. Although this is my cousin's apology, today is your birthday, and this unicorn is even more auspicious to you, grandmother."
Wen Qingfang said it sincerely, which moved Mrs. Liu so much that her eyes became wet.
Mrs. Liu looked at her with emotion in her heart.
Fortunately, my love for her was not in vain.
Liu naturally accepted the gift from her granddaughter with joy.
After all, purple jade is very rare, everyone present knows it.
When Wen Qingfang returned to her seat, Wen Qingzhu found that Aunt Wu had her head lowered and never raised it.
But looking at her trembling arms, I'm afraid her face is extremely bad now.
Before Wen Qingzhu could look back, he saw Yang saying with a smile: "Father, Aunt Wu's brother has just been promoted and is not stable yet, so why bother the Wu family? Today, His Highness the Fifth Prince specially came to see Liang'er. Don't say anything else. , it’s okay to ask Liang’er to ask for news.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Wan also calmed down and followed Mr. Yang and said, "Yes, father, if you want to find someone for help, although the Wan family cannot help directly, the niece of the Wan family, Yan, is a member of the prince, so she can take care of things in the middle. It's still very easy, at least you don't have to go around."
Wen Guanbin couldn't help but be startled when he heard the name of the prince.
The current prince Jiang Yuansheng is the emperor's eldest son. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the one to inherit the throne in the future.
Although the situation is now at the forefront, the identity of the prince is extraordinary after all.
Wen Guanbin was happy in his heart, but he still had a look of caring for you on his face and asked: "If I trouble His Highness the Crown Prince with such a trivial matter, would it be..."
"Father, don't worry. Now everyone wants to be promoted, whether it's my father or someone else, but my father's words are obviously more beneficial to His Royal Highness." Wan didn't finish her words.
But these words had already made Wen Guanbin feel elated.
"That's fine, that's fine. I'll take care of it first. If it doesn't work, I have to go through His Highness the Prince's method."
Hearing this, a sneer appeared on Wen Qingzhu's lips.
Now Jiang Yuansheng cannot protect himself.
The reason why Empress Zheng passed away may be due to the handiwork of the current emperor Jiang Yue.
Wen Qingzhu didn't know how Empress Zheng died.
But in her previous life, after entering the palace, it didn't take long for her to discover that there was another hidden reason for Queen Zheng's death.
However, the Crown Prince and Prince Ning had completely failed at that time, and she did not care about the truth behind Queen Zheng's death.
But now, she has to care.
Wen Qingzhu will definitely not let Jiang Yuancheng get what he wants!
Originally, Aunt Wu's gift gave her a chance to fight back.
But she really underestimated the patience and ability of the first and fourth rooms.
As a result, she was slapped in the face later, whether it was the gift she gave or her brother's promotion.
Neither Wan nor Yang paid attention.
At least on the surface Aunt Wu is useless.
At the next dinner, there was a complete reversal.
The smile on Aunt Wu's face disappeared and she lowered her head to eat.
Wen Qinglan and Wen Mingqian naturally tried their best to reduce their presence.
In the main room and the fourth room, people were eating and chatting with laughter, it was so lively.
Aunt Wu was so angry that she bit her lip. Why did they all look down on her
If the Wu family hadn't been framed back then, why would she have married into the Wen family as a concubine!
During the whole process, only Wen Shuquan, Wen Qingzhu and Wen Mingxuan remained calm.
The three of them didn't say a word unless necessary.
It was as quiet as if he was not attending the dinner.
The banquet finally dispersed, and after bidding farewell to Wen Guanbin and Mr. Liu, Wen Qingzhu and others followed Wen Shuquan and walked to Yanyuan together.
Before reaching the door, Mother Ye hurried over.
"Third Master, Miss, it's not good! The warehouse has been broken into!"
Everyone present, except Wen Qingzhu, was stunned.
"Let's go!" Uncle Wen, who had seen the wind and waves, immediately led everyone to rush to Yanyuan.
…
In Jinsong Pavilion, all the masters and servants of Yanyuan are there.
Uncle Wen sat on the main seat with a sullen expression.
He asked Wen Qingzhu to sit next to him.
Looking at the trembling slaves below, Wen Qingzhu nodded and let the candlelight cover her eyes.
"What's going on?!" Wen Shuquan's voice was extremely cold, at least it was the first time Wen Qingzhu heard his voice so cold.
"This slave doesn't know!" the mothers in charge said almost in unison.
Uncle Wen turned to look at Mother Ye: "Tell me."
Mother Ye took a step forward, lowered her head and replied: "I originally wanted to go to the warehouse to look for copybooks. The Fourteenth Young Master will change the copybooks in a few days. But when I went there, I didn't expect that there was no one at the door of the warehouse. The warehouse The locks on both doors were unlocked.
The servant then hurriedly went to find Aunt Xia. After all, she was in charge of the warehouse. The slave maid hurriedly went to find Grandma Xia's room. Unexpectedly, she was lying on the ground with bleeding from her head. The two little maids beside her also fainted.
The servant thought that he had to call for help quickly, but no one answered after calling for a long time. Even the people who lent him out should have returned by this time.
After no one responded, the slave ran out of Yanyuan to find the third master and the young lady. "
Uncle Wen frowned and remained silent.
At this moment, Tian Chong rushed in.
"Sir, the doctor has checked. Grandma Xia's head was hit with a wooden hammer. Her body is still strong, but the doctor said it will take at least three days to wake up. After all, there are some wounds on her head. serious."
Tian Chong's voice became smaller and smaller at the end.
Aunt Xia is now fifty years old and is Wen Shuquan's nanny. In order to take care of Wen Shuquan, she never got married in her life.
After Wen Shuquan came to Yanyuan, Wen Shuquan handed over the most important warehouse to Aunt Xia to manage.
Everyone in Yanyuan respected Aunt Xia very much.
She was quite capable herself, and this time she was attacked, which directly angered Wen Shuquan.
Wen Qingzhu saw all the changes in Wen Shuquan's expression and probably understood in his heart.
Wen Shuquan is not close to Liu, but he is very close to Aunt Xia.
At least in Wen Qingzhu's eyes, Uncle Wen supported Aunt Xia the same way he supported his own mother.
But there was one thing that surprised her.
Wen Qingzhu just sent someone to knock out Nanny Xia with a drug, but someone actually took advantage of her to hit her unconscious
Aunt Xia guards the warehouse and has always lived in seclusion, so she shouldn't have offended anyone.
"You go interrogate Granny Dou next to Grandma Xia." Uncle Wen's face was cold, and his voice was like spring in an ice cellar, which made people tremble.
Tian Chong took the order and retreated.
Uncle Wen glanced at everyone in the room, from the servants to the masters of Yanyuan.
This naturally includes Wen Qingzhu.
The atmosphere in the room was cold and solemn, and the depressing atmosphere was so oppressive that no one dared to breathe.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Cao Yu appeared in the room with two unfamiliar entourages.
"Master, there is a result." Cao Yu's voice was very low.
To human ears, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Say." Uncle Wen looked at Cao Yu quietly with his dark eyes.
Wen Qingzhu also raised his eyes and looked over.
She still recognized Cao Yu's ability, but did he really discover it so quickly
The Wenqing group was a little unconvinced.
Cao Yu turned sideways and asked a follower to step forward.
Wen Qingzhu squinted his eyes and saw that there was a bloody wooden hammer on the tray in the man's hand, and there was also a green red flower leaf.
Seeing this, Wen Qingzhu frowned.
This red flower leaf can only be found in the backyard of the east courtyard.
While looking at the tray, Cao Yu looked up at Wen Qingzhu and said, "I want to ask Miss Seven a question."
